Friday-Sunday, dinner service starts at 6 p.m., dancing and bands play live, 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
Lancers is deep down on the wayside of the Ironbound. Actually, It’s only a few blocks away from Fernandez, which works out excellent. You can’t miss Lancers, if you’re on Ferry Street just go the opposite way from route 21 about a mile and a half and you’ll see it on your right. It gets a little darker as you get closer but we all need excitement in our lives.
If parking is not available, you may have to walk a block but it’ ok. Oh, if some guys offer to watch over your car, don’t pay them. I rarely do because they’re usually drunk out of their minds and can barely talk. They’re always wearing one of those emergency vests. Dude, if you want to work and make money, I suggest you don’t come bombed. Anyway, that was my luck with them.
Moving on, as you reach the entrance there may be a group of people outside where Men and women have their meet up groups. Keep your eye on one who interests you, so you can accidentally bump into each other inside and have a dance.
It’s an immense place and you’ll notice it as soon as you enter. It’s a Spanish restaurant but around 10 p.m. people start dancing. The house band is good and they play all forms of Latin music and the occasion club and reggaeton.
People of all ages go there, from young singles too your grandmother, excuse, I meant your great-grandmother. If you are interested in cougars, you’ll definitely find one there. When it’s girl’s night out, you’ll see the group laughing and swaying to the music in their chairs. It’s a good signal they want to get down and dance, so make your move. Some nights could be good and some not, it’s a coin toss. Just have a good time. It’s a good Latin dancing meet up group in Newark.
Have fun, if not, just walk over to Fernandes.
